Good to see the Canucks can both win and lose in the first round.

Well, Ek, since there's no shootout or 4 on 4 OT in the playoffs, florida is actually 2-2 against Jersey and 2-2 against Boston.

Everything changes when you take away the skills comp.

Ek - you have Canucks against the Blues in round 1. I think you mean Phoenix.

I was five. It was epic!

That said, another Rangers v Canucks final would be sweet....obviously with a different outcome though.

Its as essentially as familiar as all those 7th and 8th seeds that have won the cup. Except none have.

I have seen parts of it on NHL Classic... It was epic, in spite of the negative outcome!

I think it would have a different outcome, were it to happen again this year... But I don't think the Rangers will be going to the Finals.

Canucks over Flyers in 6 will be my unpopular prediction at this point

I am confused... Is this making a point, or just taking a dig at the Senators.

If it's the latter... Sure. You won't find me predicting Ottawa wins the Cup

No, Ek had a blog talking about something like if it was easier to sneak in as the bottom seeds and win the cup, since its been done(except not) or as a top seed, where only 1 team without home ice in the first round has won the Cup being the 5th place Devils in 95

Oh man. What do you even say to that? I mean, I know a couple teams have come pretty damn close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades as they say...

But... you saw the extremely intelligent formula he used for determining a winner. It just makes sense...
